Re: Oh, please, someone should tell me this is a joke!

I've been in the world of trading for about 20 years now, so I am in the right position to say that trading is not child's play. To date, in the course of my trading escapade, I've met hundreds of people (if not a little above a thousand), and I've also trained quite a few myself. However, as I type now, I am the only active trader among them. This is how scary trading is. I, myself, should have abandoned trading for years if not that I was stupidly stubborn until it got better.

If the government think that this idea of training youth in forex trading can help the youth of course they should go ahead, this is just a way of creating awareness and also opening some people's eye to see what is happening in this crypto space. So I don't see anything wrong with that idea, though forex trading is not just something you learn within a couple of weeks or months it take years before you can be able to get all the necessary informations about forex trading. And surely, some people may not be patient enough to continue learning. just as it is in bitcoin investment not everyone that is willing to invest in bitcoin due to the long term commitment so is not a must that everyone must learn but one thing for sure is there will be a set of people that would continue learning until they get all the information they're looking for just as you did.

For long now plenty people they use charcoal for cooking because of how price done they skyrocket because if you they earn 50 thousand naira a month and you are using gas cook that means you done crush 20 percent of your salary for the gas so actually plenty people come they adopt the charcoal method so that things go they on a moderate level for them and for there salaries to still come out intact.

As for the Kero I they fear that particular one now pass gas because a lot of Kero way them they sell for market get as as be ooh because them they catch like fuel, any small thing done ignite immediately so e be like say them no they refine am well because the Kero we no before no they aggressive as the one we they see now.

I think being concious of the fact that in trading, there is what we call loss and gain, that will help you to know that trading is a 50 50 game.

As you talk am na so e be because trading they very hard for person to sabi am and even when e be say you done sabi am you go still follow for the chance way be 50 50 because na something way be say them they manipulate at times so you gat sabi am to the extreme before you go see say you they understand the setting, the thing be say for people like us we no need to they rush for something way we don't really understand so that we no go start losing our money now.

The things way I done see people lose because of trading they fear me to say make I try bring small money put there but if na something way I go do someday na to find person way really sabi am plus good trading history to teach me so that I go no waiting to look for in terms of strategy because trading no be something person go just rush enter without preparation.

Re: Stop vote buying in Nigeria
by

on 18/08/2025, 22:31:04 UTC
Some parties are not calling it vote buying, but implying that it is thanks for coming. So in that scenario, it is not called vote buying. What will make such not to stop in Nigeria.

The thing is far more complicated.

Alot of people is not concerned about making a good leader, thier Major concern is just the dividend that they're getting. they don't care whoever the person is, And the reason why most people can't let go off this mentality is because they feel they're all the same. at first they will pretend as if they're going to make a good leader just to get you to vote for them. But once they scale through the process they will leave the citizens with unfulfilled promise, so this issue regarding vote is complicated. And I don't even see this vote buying or whatever stopping anytime soon, even though some person's may be attempting to stop it but there will still be a set of people who would want to stick to it.

Re: For Many Nigerians, Hard Work Is No Longer Enough

Why Talent and Hard Work Are No Longer Enough

Let me be clear: I am not here to condemn my country; I love Nigeria. But we must face the truth. If you are relying solely on hard work, your journey to success may take far longer than it should.

If you feel that those who are relying solely on hard work that thier journey to success May take far longer than it should, then what's the advice you're trying to give them? Or did you mean they should fast forward thier journey to success or look for a short cut to reach their goal? Obviously things is not getting easier but we also need to be more stronger and hard working before you can be able to achieve your goal, and don't say that those that depend on hard work will stay longer before they can be able to achieve thier goal.

 Because this can make most people to feel weak and just decide to quit in the process of chasing their dreams, I was actually expecting you to strengthen them the more to keep pushing instead of trying to make them quit from thier hard working and start looking for short cut to success.

Re: Say no to sport betting

on 18/08/2025, 21:56:43 UTC
Sport betting have really changed the lives  of many individual and have also leed most people to poverty in Nigeria am a victim also at first you will be benefiting from it thinking that you will be winning every Day.
Am advising any one who is involved into sport betting to avoid it now it's not good for you please

Sport betting is supposed to be treated as part of fun and entertainment but if you failed to see it from this perspective, definitely you will end up regretting why you joined sport betting in the first place. But if you're gambling with the intention of making fun with it, definitely you won't regret going into gambling in the first place because there is a lot of fun while doing that. And this way you will be very careful with the amount you stake with, because there is no guarantee that you will win.

So those who are gambling for fun always stake with very affordable amount, that is why they don't panick when luck is against them. And surely anyone who is gambling for profit making should start limiting from gambling before it gets too late.

Re: Bet as an addiction in naija youths

on 18/08/2025, 21:43:53 UTC
This is where the addiction comes to play some persons have linked there account to the betting site making it easier to transfer in and out to the betting site
Transferring in and out is not actually the case, the problem is if we can just set a boundary and just maintain it without crossing it, what I mean is that even if you linked your account to your sport betting account you should try to set up an amount that you can use to gamble maybe daily or weekly but is advised to make it weekly and you also need to skip some week maybe when you must have exceed your gambling budget for the month.

This way you won't be affected,or better still you can create a separate account for your gambling budget If you find it risky to gamble from your main account. it can only be problematic if you're gambling without making a proper budget, Because this way you will be gambling out of control As you don't know when to stop and when you have exceed your limit.

Re: Things you need to know before investing in Bitcoin
by
Somto9Light
on 18/08/2025, 21:26:17 UTC
First thing you actually need before investing in Bitcoin is knowledge, you can have the money and still end up doing the wrong thing which might cost you your capital...Take out some time to work on learning about that crypto market so that you would be able to identify things that are fraudulent so you don't fall for a Bitcoin scam...patience is key and without it you might not benefit much from it

You're right, knowledge should be the first think to think of before looking for a way to build a discretionary income. Because you can't wake up one day and start investing into something you know nothing about, is wrong.

So as a new investor who is about getting started with bitcoin investment you really need to go for the knowledge before looking into any other thing, even though you may not get all the knowledge but having the basic knowledge is enough for you to get started, Maybe in during your accumulating process then you will get to know more. And surely, if you don't have the basic knowledge you can't easily detect scam. but with the help of the knowledge you can be able to detect any scam that comes your way.

Re: Let's not wash our dirty linen in public

I have observed some posts by Nigerians in this forum which, in my opinion, are too sensitive to be posted for non-Nigerians to see. One of such posts is this: Bad government instigate more crime

I understand that we, as Nigerians, have our challenges as a country and we also have our bad sides as well, but believe me when I say this: corruption and scams are not only peculiar to Nigeria.

We should consider the implications of certain topics we raise about us on this space. The world already holds unjustifiable stereotypes about us as Nigerians, thinking we are all scammers. Discussions like this coming from us will further validate their negative perception about us. You can imagine if the forum members stop dealing with Nigerians because of one scam story from a bad egg.

Let's not spoil the collective reputation of Nigerians in this forum with what we post or do.

Let's not wash our dirty linen in public.

Some topics should be limited to the Nigerian local board.


This makes a lot of sense mate, and yeah, I have been seeing a lot of scam report coming from our local board here, and of which I don't see other countries making several reports regarding this scamming issue But other  bitcoin/ important discussion, I'm not against making scam report in this forum but we should try and adjust or limit from making such post. Because the forum is very broad to an extent that people from different countries can decide to visit our local board and when they find out that the rate of scam is very high here they can decide to do something crazy, because they will feel that we are promoting scammers in our country so we should try to make amends juat as op have said.

Re: 'We Can Double Your Bitcoin', why are Nigerians still falling for this in 2025?
by
Somto9Light
on 18/08/2025, 20:46:49 UTC
The truth is some newbies don't want to follow the right way, they think there is a short cut that can lead them into owning 1BTC.  So going with this mindset would make people especially newbies to continue making this same mistake, but the moment they realized that there is no short cut to success  that's the moment they will stop falling for this cheap scamming method.

And one thing that is affecting most of our newbies is that we don't care to learn we just feel that we can do it by ourselves without the help of those who are already Old in the system, though sometimes is good to be self educated but not in this particular aspect. So as a newbie in this space you really need to be guided so as to avoid making unnecessary mistake.

Yeah, is not good for an investor to keep his seed phrase very secret to an extent that even his loved ones can not even get access to it. Though is good to keep our seed phrase very secret but at least we are suppose to have a trusted person in the family, no matter the family situation. Or better still you can share it to any of your kids you know he or she will never disclose your seed phrase to anyone.

 Or  you can share it with your wife, because we don't know when the unknown death" will come, Even though some person's would prefer keeping thier seed phrase to themselves without even realizing that death can occur at anytime. and sure, many people died and thier assets is unrealized till today, When they have wife and children at home. It surprises me how someone can be greed to this level.

My question is this: if it wasn’t a bank staff who revealed my information to them, how did they know I have an account with Access Bank? She even called my full name and recited some account details. It still amazes me till now. How did she get my bank details?

I have encountered this scamming strategy before, that was some years ago but even before the incident I was given a quick notice about this scamming strategy. I was just thinking maybe is just a normal advice, but I was shocked when I received a call from unknown number claiming that he's calling from customer service and he also mentioned my full name just as it appears in my bank account, just to prove to me that he's actually calling from customer service.

But he never knew that I'm already aware about his attention, even the Bank made it clear that we should disagree with any information that is giving to us through phone call except we are the one that called for compliant, as they can't call you to provide any documents/ details for them. But it surprises me how this scammers manage to get all this informations, I think most of thier workers would definitely have a hand in that.

i am aware we all have different strategies and goals for our investments but i am sure that a lot of us are planning to hold bitcoin for the long term and it got me thinking what ways could we do to prevent us from being tempted to sell our bitcoins and spend it on unnecessary things
Firstly, as a bitcoin investor there are some certain things that need to put in place before you can be able to leave your bitcoin untouched until you reach the status of overaccumulation,  the things that can protect you from not tempering your bitcoin investment until when you reach your investment goal is your emergency fund and reserve funds or backup funds, this are the tools that can guide you throughout your accumulation journey.

failure to make this above mentioned funds available would lead you into messing your investment up, probably when there is a call for emergency. So as a bitcoin investor you really need to make this above mentioned funds available for security reasons.

on 17/08/2025, 23:57:43 UTC
Since people can get obsessed about gambling, how much more bitcoin that is well known as the best choice of investment. but is very rare to see someone who is obsessed about bitcoin since the profit is not what we get within a short term, if there are people who would get obsessed about bitcoin I think it will be those who are into bitcoin trading. Since their aim is just for the short term profit.

I feel that there is no point of being obsessed about bitcoin rather you should just take it the normal way that every bitcoin investor would take it, rather than being obsessed.

Well no regrets. [Still happy that I am here. Some people are still living in doubts.

Sure, we should be thankful for being here. I believe those who are not here are not lucky to experience this, so you that is lucky to experience this new phase need to be thankful. Because so long as there is life there is still hope, is only those who are not here that is hopeless. What happened in the past was a mistake which only few people that were able to escape this mistake.

So all we have to do is to put the past mistake behind and focus on the future, we still have a very big opportunity to correct our mistake. But it will be so unwise if we continue repeating that same mistake.

No doubt, and is clear that what you're saying is actually correct. moreover alot of people have started finding it difficult when we are still in the early stage, how much more the future........I wonder what those who are still complaining about the price being too expensive would say in the future, so we shouldn't be  deceived.

I feel that this is the right time for us to get started with our accumulation journey because waiting for the price to dip before making attempt is just like a waste of time and also missing alot of buying opportunities, so the earlier we start the accumulation journey the better for us.

Michael saylor has many ways of influencing bitcoin and he's widely known for continuously buying bitcoin which has a very positive result on his followers and the entire crypto community.

Sure, and I like his own way of influencing people. Anyone who is following Michael Saylor on X would definitely want to go into bitcoin investment. I can't imagine how many people that Saylor converted, and it has gotten to the extent that most people have started seeing him as the father of bitcoin. And yeah, considering the amount of bitcoin he acquired yet he sees it as if he's just getting started with bitcoin investment.

And I'm sure he will continue buying until there is no more bitcoin in the market Grin
